nonnative has reunited with ASICS for new colorway of the GEL-YETI Hi themed around “Clay.” The boot’s design pays tribute to its origins as a recovery shoe for trail runners, with new technical elements added by the Japanese stalwart.

As a follow-up to 2018’s limited-edition release, the new colorways come with a “Clay” theme, referencing the strong underfoot grip and breathable waterproof functionality. The entire boot is wrapped in a waterproof and breathable GORE-TEX upper, while nonnative has also added a new military-inspired lacing system.

The GEL-YETI HI is due to release in either black or beige, and each colorway is finished with nonnative embossing on the heel and a lining adorned with GORE-TEX’s logo.

Take a look at the two colorways in the gallery above. The collaborative boots will release at select locations including COVERCHORD, Dover Street Market and some ASICS stockists on December 19.

In related news, ASICS is also taking part in Extra Butter’s wide-ranging Tomcat collaborations.
